I haven't been active here for years and was just checking the forum back out by chance and saw this.
All my original gear from 2010 came from Nonfinite and Apeshit.
Respect. Anthony ran a really solid operation and was highly respected back in those days.
Hi folks. It's been a few years since I've been active and I've come to the hard realization that my gear will be much happier in the hands of someone who actually uses it. Everything is up on eBay so may the odds be ever in your favor.

Thanks for looking!
have you got any more pictures of the ardruino boy?
I'll try to post more if I get a chance.
it's flawless. it's been sitting in a cushioned case since I bought it a few years ago. just don't have the time to get into it and figured other folks here might want it.
prices m8?
they are auctions. the links open to ebay.
test your might
$50 seems a bit steep for broken equipment 
@Ant1: Whole thing was probably my manager at the time overembelishing something that may have not been a big deal then me taking it all personal and raging on 8bc.
@her_proof: Dunno. Haven't heard of another Datapop in the works for a while so who knows.
@Reteris: Disasterpeace? Saturday 10th
@Reteris: Fucking hilarious.
Hey, welcome to Austin, man! I did not know you were already down here.
Second that!
The obvious solution here is to file the trademark and once they go to file theirs and are surprised its taken, you can offer it to them for a gazillion dollars.
Like.
Lots.
@trash80: Not sure where or when I said that designers were doctors and/or lawyers. I'm well aware of the wild fluctuation in talent with designers regardless of formal education. I was just making a comparison to prove a point. Exaggerated? Perhaps. Design, medicine and law are all professions. And of those 3 there only seems to be contests for design.
But yeah, none taken and I agree with everything you said.
@akira^8GB: My point is that its a shame there are contests for everything. Contests for fun and prizes are fine but anything else is spec work. Youre probably right that I'm too harsh to equate this situation to spec work and I know there's no harm intended and I wasn't trying to implicate that egr was anything like greedy bastards. For better or for worse egr seems to have gotten a positive result from my feedback so I'm pretty stoked.
I just see nothing wrong with the way you had this set up to begin with. I mean anyone not happy with that could've always just not participated
It goes beyond just not participating. Spec work is bad and its my "moral duty" to inform others of this any time I can, even if it makes me "that guy" or a buzzkill or whatever.
I'd say those guidelines are excessive for this situation and could in theory exclude any and all artists who have released on datathrash..
Definitely. Thats why they are guidelines, not rules.
Awesome! Thank you for being open-minded, mature and not lashing out. I appreciate your attitude. Best of luck with the contest and now that your abiding by the GAG (terrible acronym. check) guidelines, I might submit a design if I have the time.
Thanks for the graceful response but with all due respect you definitely dont "get what theyre talking about". Because if you did, you would do the right thing and pick a designer you like whos willing to do the work and not waste a bunch of peoples time and make multiple losers to your contest.
I understand your bias, given youre the contest holder but spec work is spec work, no matter if its at an indie scale or a large corporation.
In regards to the "dramatic and silly statement", I think you misunderstood. How often do you hold a contest to pick a doctor? Or a lawyer? The thought of holding a contest to pick a doctor or a lawyer should be equally as ridiculous as picking a designer but sadly its not. The only reason spec work is so common is because everyone with a computer and Photoshop is a designer nowadays, and the margin is so absurdly low that these contests happen only because theres more designers witth spare time than those who dont. So i hope you understand now that crowdsourcing is nothing like what you said.
Theres certainly a flair of arrogance that goes with these contests. The notion that designers should compete over your work is no different to me than tv shows like "the bachelor". Instead of a contest why not just be like hey guys, looking for some artwork, anyone down? Thats much more in touch with the indie scale youre talking about. If you hadnt presented this as a contest I probably wouldve been willing to participate. Your project looks like fun and I'd be personally interested.
You started your contest and theres people interested (unfortunately) so I wouldnt expect you to close it or anything, I just hope some information reached you and maybe you could go about design work differently in the future.
